So far, the intergeneric relationships of the Lonicera clade and the systematic position of Heptacodium remain equivocal. By studying fruit and seed morphology and anatomy, an attempt is made to clarify these issues. In add...

Leaf structural and physiological traits, nutrients, other functional properties reflect the ability of plants to self-regulate adapt environment. Species diversity can positively affect plant growth by improving habitat, offers mutual interspecies benefits. Therefore, optimizing types grown in a specific area is conducive achieving sustainable development goals for growth. In this study, compa...

Abstract We have purified a novel caffeoylquinic acid named 3,4-di- O -caffeoylquinic isobutyl ester from the flower buds of Lonicera japonica Thunb., Caprifoliaceae. However, biological function is still unknown. Here, we found that effectively inhibited proliferation and migration hepatocellular carcinoma cells, it displayed less toxicity to normal liver cell line. Mechanistic studies showed ...
